ENCORE Family Sessions Testimonials

A recent research report conducted by Texas Valley Communities Foundation indicates that parents are key figures in the college readiness process. Based on the research findings, ENCORE developed a strong, dynamic parental involvement and family literacy component to promote awareness and prepare GEAR UP parents with the knowledge they need to guide and improve their children's academic success for an effective college preparation.

Parents and their children participate in hands-on college readiness activities, conducted concurrently in English and Spanish, where they explore the ultimate benefits of a college education. They learn how to better prepare their children for college with reflective activities in which parents understand their role in the college readiness process. Parents walk away from the ENCORE Family Sessions with renew knowledge, hope and inspiration to develop a college readiness environment at home. These sessions take a holistic approach to college readiness by empowering parents and their children with the tools they need to work collaboratively toward higher education attainment.
